Serving Our Communities
Our Purpose

INet's Corporate Giving Program invests volunteer, cash and in-kind support in communities where our associates live and work. These investments are directed to innovative programs to promote education and economic self-sufficiency, to ensure quality of life and improve the health and well-being of citizens.

This program, guided by our corporate values of teamwork, respect, accountability, integrity and innovation, focuses on three areas:

  • Education
Support is targeted at scholarships, computer science, distribution management and other programs that promote economic self-sufficiency. General operating support will not be considered.
  • Health and Human Services
Support is targeted at community-based social and health service agencies for specific programs. A significant portion of the support granted in this area will be channeled through INet's investment. General operating support will not be considered.
  • Arts and Culture
Program support is targeted at performing arts centers and cultural organizations. General operating support and requests to underwrite performances and exhibitions will not be considered.
